This was the first time Tyson stepped inside the boxing ring for an exhibition match since 2006. He took on Corrie Sanders in what was supposed to be the start of a tour. No winner was declared in the fight but it was clear that Tyson was dominant.
As for Jones, he had less ring rust to shake. Before meeting Tyson, Jones hadn’t traded leather since February 2018. That was a pro bout against Scott Sigmon. Jones won that fight via unanimous decision, capturing the WBU (German version) Cruiserweight Title.
